Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If you are right handed, what side of the brain controls that?
A
Motor cortex of left hemisphere
B
Motor cortex of right hemisphere
C
Sensory cortex of left hemisphere
D
Sensory cortex of right hemisphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each hemisphere is in charge of the opposite side of the body, so your right brain controls your left hand. The right hemisphere also takes in sensory input from your left side and vice versa.

Detailed explanation-2: -The motor system and primary motor cortex The primary motor cortex on the left side of the brain controls movement of the right side of the body, and vice-versa, the right motor cortex controls movement of the left side of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The left side of the brain is concerned with language, number skills, reasoning, scientific skills, spoken language, and right-hand control.

Detailed explanation-4: -The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, and the left half controls the right side of the body. The two halves communicate with one another through a large, C-shaped structure of white matter and nerve pathways called the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is in the center of the cerebrum.

Detailed explanation-5: -The hemispheres communicate with each other through the corpus callosum which is a bundle of fibers between the hemispheres. Each hemisphere controls muscles and glands on the opposite side of the body (i.e. the right side of the brain or hemisphere controls the left side of the body.)
